After coming out of a coma, Collin Saring had to re-learn how to walk, talk, and go to the bathroom on his own. When doctors released him from the hospital, his mind state was equivalent to that of a 12-year-old boy.
By the time he felt back to normal, his life came crashing down on him again. Clinically depressed and weighing 305 pounds, he knew he had to dig deep to make a change.
But Collin Saring overcame it all and soon found himself signing his first professional football contract.
